[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early in our relationship, my husband cooked and cleaned. That continued when we had kids. I don’t know what the green flags are, but I’d say if you’re marrying someone who devotes a lot of time to hobbies and video games, that’s a tough thing to change when kids are in the picture.

I agree with this one. I know A LOT of women who do way more than their fair share of parenting because their partners have time-consuming hobbies they refuse to give up.[/quote]

+1. With my husband it’s golf. He doesn’t cook or clean and I think he could be a more involved dad. That said, I’m a SAHM right now so I feel fine about our arrangement. Definitely a little worried about how things will shake out once I go back to work in a year. He had a maid growing up and has never lived alone, we got married at 25 and I always did most of the cooking and cleaning when we lived together. 
Green flags to look for are someone who cooks and cleans (well, not just minimally and poorly) and someone who takes an active role in doing his share of work in other areas of life with you. Enthusiasm for kids is great but my husband loves kids and  it turns out he doesn’t prioritize family time that well. For yourself, be able to directly ask for the help that you need. And remember, no one is perfect and love and respect can go a long way in helping you and your partner learn and grow. Don’t forget to acknowledge all the strengths your partner does bring to the table. [/quote]
